Edexcel GCSE Physics: Energy – Forces Doing Work Revision PowerPoint

A complete classroom-ready revision PowerPoint for Edexcel GCSE Physics: Energy – Forces Doing Work. This resource is designed for whole-class teaching, intervention, revision lessons, and exam preparation. It follows a clear and consistent structure so students are repeatedly guided from recall, to understanding, to application.

The PowerPoint is designed for classroom display on the board, with large text, clear sections, short-answer questioning and model answers throughout.

Topics covered

This resource supports revision of:

Work done
Energy transferred by a force
Work done against gravity
Gravitational potential energy
Kinetic energy
Work done against friction
Energy dissipation
Power as rate of energy transfer
Mechanical power
Efficiency calculations
Useful and wasted energy transfers
What is included

Each topic begins with a Do Now Activity using a retrieval-style DNA structure. This includes questions from:

Last lesson
Last month
Last topic
Last year / exam-style recall

Each Do Now slide is followed by a full answer slide so students can self-correct immediately.

After every key teaching point, there are three short whiteboard questions designed to check:

Knowledge
Understanding
Common misconceptions

All whiteboard questions have answer slides, making the resource ideal for live questioning, AFL, intervention groups and rapid correction.

Each section also includes book practice questions for students to answer independently. These are followed by answer-note slides, allowing students who did not get the questions right to correct their work and improve their written explanations.

Skills developed

This resource helps students practise:

Recalling and using equations
Substituting values correctly
Converting units, such as grams to kilograms and kilojoules to joules
Explaining energy transfers clearly
Distinguishing between useful and wasted energy
Calculating work done, GPE, KE, power and efficiency
Writing short, accurate GCSE Physics answers
Correcting misconceptions before exam practice
Why this resource is useful

This PowerPoint is particularly useful for intervention because it does not simply give students information. It repeatedly models how to think through physics questions and gives students regular opportunities to practise.

The structure makes it easy for teachers to use as a full revision lesson, a sequence of intervention sessions, or as part of exam preparation. The questioning is short enough for mini-whiteboards but still challenging enough to expose misunderstandings.

Suitable for
Edexcel GCSE Physics
Combined Science Physics revision
Year 10 and Year 11
Intervention lessons
Exam preparation
Retrieval practice
Whole-class teaching
Cover lessons with teacher guidance
Foundation and Higher tier students
